Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been hailed as \u201camazing\u201d and \u201cfearless\u201d after the 15-year-old underlined his rare talent with an audacious display against superstar Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah in the IPL.<\/p>\n

Rajasthan Royals opener Sooryavanshi faced the 32-year-old pacer Bumrah, of Mumbai Indians, for the first time Tuesday and immediately hit him over the wide long-on fence for a six.<\/p>\n

Bumrah smiled as he walked back to his run-up, then, three balls later, the precocious teenage batsman did it again with a pull shot that went over deep backward square leg.<\/p>\n

Sooryavanshi hammered 39 off 14 balls and put on 80 runs with opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal, who hit an unbeaten 77, as Rajasthan won by 27 runs in a rain-shortened 11-overs-a-side contest in Guwahati.<\/p>\n

Mumbai skipper Hardik Pandya said it had been \u201cfascinating\u201d to see Sooryavanshi take on one of the world\u2019s best bowlers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmazing to see the way he bats, the kind of fearlessness he has, the kind of shots he has,\u201d said Pandya.<\/p>\n

Sooryavanshi took on another senior pace bowler in the New Zealander Trent Boult to pummel an attempted yorker into the crowd over backward square leg.<\/p>\n

His knock was cut short by a stunning catch in the deep by Tilak Varma after attempting another big hit off Shardul Thakur.<\/p>\n

Sooryavanshi was angry at himself, covering his face and letting out a scream, before trudging back to the pavilion.<\/p>\n

Fellow left-hander Jaiswal watched the blitz from the other end, captivated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way he has been playing, it\u2019s tremendous,\u201d said player of the match Jaiswal.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s working so hard as well. So I also get motivated \u2013 OK, I also need to develop some different shots.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd if he\u2019s taking on someone, I\u2019ll just keep giving him positive messages that you can go after him and whatever, just play freely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jaiswal, 24, said he doesn\u2019t need to play the big brother.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s amazing and he understands the game very well. He\u2019s quite capable to do it himself. He\u2019s enjoying his game and he\u2019s playing unbelievably well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sooryavanshi made history in last year\u2019s IPL in a dazzling debut season, highlighted by a 35-ball century, the second fastest in the history of the T20 tournament.<\/p>\n

He started this edition with a blazing fifty to live up to big expectations and received praise from former cricketers, including spin legend Anil Kumble, who said the prodigy should be fast-tracked into the senior Indian national team.<\/p>\n

Sooryavanshi has already made his mark at the youth international level, hammering 175 off just 80 balls as India beat England in the Under-19 World Cup final in February.<\/p>\n
